I recommend staying with your distributions maintainers version. Like noted before me, unless there's a huge requirement for a feature not available in RHEL / CentOS's version...just keep using what you have. Simon Mudd's is also someone who dedicates a lot of time into his RPM's however I have never tested them and don't know what happens in regards to future patches and how Yum handles this. Good luck!
